Chapter 40: The Buddha Statue Shatters
The horse's sense of hearing is extremely keen, especially for voices that are too loud or too strong, so the horse carrying Han Changluan was suddenly frightened, neighed in horror, turned his head and ran backwards. The two guards who had been standing around the carriage did not notice for a while, but they were knocked to the ground by the carriage.
The loud bang lasted for about a quarter of an hour before it stopped, and the ground stopped shaking.
"What happened?" The sudden change made everyone look at Xuyi City with surprise and doubt, Gao Changgong frowned, quickly got up from the ground, and looked at the people behind him, his eyes especially on the happy face for a while.
The people on the field were very surprised and confused, how to answer his question? Xing Xing knew it, but he also stood up from the ground at this time, his brows furrowed deeply, and his face was stunned.
Han Changluan was standing, and the center of gravity must be kneeling high, so he was also the most affected by the earthquake. He originally wanted to see Gao Changgong's gray and decadent face, standing there with a shy stomach, who would have thought that at this time he was the most embarrassed person on the field, not only did the holy decree fall to the ground, but the person also staggered back a few steps before standing firmly, but the hat on his head fell to the ground. If he hadn't practiced before, he would definitely fall to the ground and gnaw on a mouthful of mud.
"Zheng Neishi, what's going on?" Han Changluan, who felt extremely embarrassed, had a very ugly face, and hurriedly picked up the holy decree, he tidied up his shirt a little, stared at Gao Changgong and asked.
Gao Changgong hurriedly bowed his hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lord Wang, I frightened you, I don't know what the specific matter is, wait for me to inquire carefully." ”
"That's good, this king wants to see who has such courage and is so disrespectful to the emperor!" Han Changluan snorted angrily, losing his prestige in front of so many "lowly Han people", which made him very angry.
Gao Changgong looked at Han Changluan with an angry face, there was still some dust on his hat, he smiled secretly in his heart, but there was an apologetic smile on his face, and he said happily: "Xing'er, go and see what happened in the city?" ”
Happy to respond, was about to go to investigate, but saw Shang Buqi running towards here with an excited face, and his excited voice came from afar: "Master Hou, happy event, happy event!" Soon, he ran out of the city and came to Gao Changgong.
"Happy event?" Gao Changgong was even more surprised, this is not yet to give up thinking to be calm and calm, but at this time it is like this, it can be seen that this happy event is not small.
"Great joy, Master Hou, great joy!" Shang Buqi said excitedly, but he was a little incoherent.
"Calm down, shouting in front of the prince, what a system! Could there be more surprising than a holy reward? Gao Changgong's face sank, and he looked at him suspiciously.
"Hou Ye is angry!" Shang Buqi was shocked and fell to the ground suddenly, but his eyes were still excited and excited, and he secretly glanced at the happiness behind Gao Changgong, who showed a deep smile.
Gao Changgong snorted and said, "Get up and talk back, what happened in the city?" ”
Shang Buqi stood up, swallowed his saliva, eased his agitated mood a little, and looked at Gao Changgong with an amazed face: "Master Hou, the Buddha has appeared, and the Great Qi will prosper!" ”
"What?" Everyone, including Han Changluan, looked at him in surprise. The crowd that was originally messing around quickly quieted down, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were all focused on Shang Buqi, making this iron man uncomfortable for a while.
Gao Changgong was the first to come to his senses and asked in a deep voice: "What happened, you tell Benhou the truth!" ”
"Yes, Master Hou." He didn't give up yet, and said slowly: "Just now, the Buddha statues in all the temples in the city suddenly shattered!" ”
"What!" Gao Changgong's face changed greatly, and his voice was raised to a high level, which was a little distorted.
"Ahh Everyone exclaimed.
"Don't give up yet! The treasure temple of the Buddha is blessed by the mana of the Buddha, how can it be broken for no reason? What is your intention to talk nonsense and disturb the people's hearts? Left and right, quickly take down this wingman with me, and kill it on the spot! Gao Changgong's face was gloomy, and a surging murderous aura emanated from his body.
Since the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the entire land of Shenzhou has fallen into hundreds of years of chaotic conquests, with frequent dynastic changes, human life is as cheap as pigs and dogs, and the people's lives are extremely difficult. In such an environment, Buddhism has become the belief and sustenance of helpless and desperate people.
Buddhism teaches people to be kind, to learn patience, and to put hope in the afterlife. In order to keep the territory stable and peaceful, the rulers naturally did not abandon this religion that could help them consolidate their power, so the two sides hit it off, and with the support of those in power, Buddhism flourished, and soon caught up with Taoism and Confucianism in China.
Buddhism flourished during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and many emperors believed in Yanjing, such as Gao Wei, a ruthless and tyrannical faint king. A perverted violent murderer actually shouts "Amitabha" every day, what a ridiculous thing.
For those who believe in Buddhism, the shattering of the Buddha's image is by no means a good omen, but a great omen!
Gao Changgong was very angry, quite angry, and there was still a trace of confusion in his heart. Originally, Han Changluan came to announce the decree, and it was destined not to be a good thing, and he seemed to feel the coolness of the steel knife on his neck. If you don't give up saying it again, Gao Wei, who believes in Buddhism, will never let go of his family of three, maybe he doesn't even have to go to Yecheng. It's just that what makes him wonder is that this is a very qualified soldier who does not give up, and he will never be so reckless.
The soldiers at the city gate were stunned, but they didn't give up, but their training instructors didn't dare to do it for a while.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Gao Changgong couldn't help but be furious when he saw the soldier in a daze, his face was even more gloomy, and his murderous aura skyrocketed, making some of the weak officials around him tremble, and he couldn't help but retreat a little, and he didn't dare to come out.
Those soldiers were panicked in their hearts, where did they dare to slack off, and they rushed forward quickly, and they were going to be arrested and not abandoned.
"Master Hou is angry, please allow me to finish my humble duties!" He knelt on the ground and looked at Gao Changgong sincerely, but there was no fear on his face.
Han Changluan stood behind Gao Changgong with a sneer. He showed that he believed in Buddhism, in fact, in order to have a common language with Cushman & Wakefield. How can a person who advocates timely pleasure be a devout believer in Buddhism? For Gao Wei, he saw it very clearly, knowing that he had no ambitions, only the enjoyment of dogs and horses, which was a great good thing for Han Changluan. A ruler would never like a wise and martial monarch, and a faint monarch would never like a loyal and strong courtier.
The more secure Gao Wei's position is, the more powerful the power that Han Changluan can control. For this handsome woman-like Gao Changgong, who is both civil and military, and has a high reputation, Han Changluan has no good feelings. The shattering of the Buddha statue is a very valuable excuse.
"Stop!" Loud with joy, the soldiers who carried out Gao Changgong invariably breathed a sigh of relief. He did not give up as a training instructor, although he was usually strict, but he was a cold-hearted person, and he ate and lived with them, but he was very good to them, which made the soldiers quite grateful. Let them detain them, it's really a bit impossible to do anything. At this time, when I saw that I was happy to stop it, I couldn't help but relax, and I was a little happy that I didn't give up.
Happy has always loved soldiers, especially not to give up, but also his favorite general, very important, with him here, there will be no danger if he does not give up.
"Xing'er!" Gao Changgong looked happy, his eyes softened slightly.
"Daddy, let me finish my words!" The happy eyes were very gentle, as if they were still conveying some message.
Gao Changgong was stunned for a moment, frowned, and shouted to Shang Buqi again: "Say!" ”
"Yes." Shang Bu gave up his answer, didn't dare to stand up, and quickly said: "A month ago, the prince ordered Baixin in the city to cast a big Buddha, which happened to be completed, but all the other Buddha statues in the city suddenly burst and made a huge noise. ”
Gao Changgong was stunned, when did he order someone to build a Buddha statue, and was about to hear about it, but he saw that Xing was shaking his head at him, and swallowed the words in his mouth. Happy looked at Happy in surprise, and the latter smiled as before, giving Gao Changgong a reassuring smile.
